be stuck at the bottom like this

By the systems of those above us, the slavery called economy

Even in this shitty world, I still won't give up.
The city split in two.
Twenty years since Japan's economic overhaul.
Those tied to the ground sold their time.
Those closer to the sky held onto freedom.
Our workplace was even further down.

You came again today.
This guy has good eyesight.
No, that's wrong. The dog is waiting.
Much better than a camera.
Please stop.
The camera's correction settings weren't very good today.
Because you can't survive by being an ordinary person.
Don't delete the logs.
Normally, you wouldn't notice something like that.
COFFEE BLACK
I find that kind of thing a hassle.
It's already lunchtime.

Good morning, WAN.

Look, Takumi.
WAN, I've been waiting for you.
...Yes, yes.
She's not waiting for me.
I'm just waiting for it to charge.
Hey, hey.
The low-frequency module is misaligned.
The vibrations are too strong if left as is.
Another adjustment?
Let's move this back a little.
No way, you mean that...
Is it Jyona Script?
Jonas script?
Do you know?
Jyona Script is a world-class control language developed by Amaterasu.
Only a few engineers can understand it,
Licenses are not permitted.
Amaterasu... that world's top giant corporation?
Official name: JYONA Strategic Control Script for Quantum AI, Autonomous Control, and Sensor Integration
Amaterasis is a global AI company located far upstream from its parent company, MEGA CORP SYSTEM, and LGS LOWER MAINTENANCE (Lower Maintenance), to which Nana belongs.
Can you understand JYONA Script?
It's warm. It's strange, considering it's a machine.

There are countless affiliated companies in between, forming a pyramidal structure at the very top. Originally, it was just an AI company located in the center of Japan,
With its superior technical capabilities and foresight, it quickly rose to become one of the world's top companies.
I'm just piecing together the parts I understand.
This should be fine.

What do you want to do when you get back to school, Takumi?
Today's luxury.
You like normal?
That's fine.
A boy who works to buy back normalcy.
There's still half left.
Not really.
Hahahaha
The average price is actually the most expensive.
I attended classes as usual.
Please don't use strange language.

I'll just graduate like everyone else.
You can't drink.
WAN is also supporting them.
If I could go back, that is.
